The Medalist started out during the football-crazed summer of 2006 with Christian and Jonas meeting through an ad on the internet. Drummer Johan and bass player David joined during the fall, making the band a band for real. After a year of his best drumming Johan left for Norrland and was replaced by Andreas, giving the band it's present line-up.
Three songs were recorded in Olis's studio Kepner Treg on Tredje Långgatan one weekend in March 2007, and released as a single on lovely indie label Cloudberry Records. In the months that followed another three songs were recorded, and a five track self-titled EP was released in the beginning of 2008. The song "Foreign Language" is also featured on Cloudberry Records' Apple Crumble compilation CD released in Japan.
The Medalist enjoys long strolls, rice cookies and smelling like cigarettes. We would love to be your friend.
